A Taliban spokesman stated “Anyone who knows about Islam knows that stoning is in the Koran, and that it is Islamic law. There are people who call it inhuman – but in doing so they insult the Prophet. They want to bring foreign thinking to this country.” The good old-Taliban thinking is evident in the video as Siddqa is buried to her waist and stoned. She somehow survives the stoning and is dispatched by a man with an AK-47 who screams “Allahu Akbar.”
The man, Khayyam, is then stoned to death with some men laughing as they show their chosen stones. Khayyam was already married and had two children when he eloped to Pakistan. Polygamy is common in this part of the world.
Hundreds watched this disgusting scene in Dashte Archi, Afghanistan — an area controlled by the Taliban.
